Medication Safety and Management

Make sure your loved ones take medications correctly

Medication management is one of the most critical issues seniors who live
independently face. It’s all too easy to miss a dose or take an incorrect dose,
especially for seniors who require several different medications throughout the
day. But with the assistance of a caregiver or Comfort Keepers medication
management products, seniors can maintain their independence and quality of
life.

For many of our home care clients, their health depends not only on their
medications but on taking them accurately. This means taking the right medicine
at the right dose, at the right time of day. The potential consequences for
taking medications incorrectly is a genuine concern.

According to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, more
than a third of medication-related hospitalizations are due to patients not
taking their medicine as prescribed.

Additionally, the American Pharmacists Association states that medication
non-adherence has been associated with as many as 40 percent of nursing home
admissions. While these statistics may alarm family members of seniors who
wish to remain independent, we can help.

Available Medical Safety Products

Comfort Keepers can help ease these concerns by assisting with medications.
Our caregivers do not dispense medication; however, they can provide reminders
for doses, as well as reading labels on prescription bottles.

In addition to in-home care services, we also offer innovative pill dispenser
systems. These systems are designed to take the guesswork and confusion out of
medication dosages.
